Hi,

To build your Push Initiator (server-side application that will send pushes) you can use the Push Service SDK provided here:

http://developer.blackberry.com/devzone/develop/platform_services/push_overview.html

There are two sample Push Initiators that you can try out (if you go with the Distribution+Tomcat install option) to see if your Android app can successfully receive pushes.

The developer guide for the SDK can be found here:

https://developer.blackberry.com/java/documentation/push_service_sdk.html

And, the Javadoc is here:

http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/PushServiceSDK1.2/LowLevelAPI/

http://www.blackberry.com/developers/docs/PushServiceSDK1.2/HighLevelAPI/

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Matt

hii matt,

thank you for you reply, but when i use the simulator for testing the app and start the push initiator it gives me error that there is no subscribers is available,

and i have another question , our company builds over ~100 apps per day and push initiator is enabled only for one app id, what iam trying to do is sending push per appid with my own ui .

thank you

Hi,

Push is not supported as of now on the simulator, so you will have to use a real BlackBerry device for your testing to install your Android app on.

You can push to multiple apps from one Push Initiator, but each push-enabled application on the device itself will have to have its own application ID associated with it.  

Thanks,

Matt
